That is another thing that really worries me.

I think we have several failures here somewhere, and I much rather not  
assign blame to any individual or group of individuals -- other than  
to us as the past board (me included) in not effectively living up to  
our duties. At least what I believe our duties are, to the membership  
and legally. (You and I and perhaps others on the board seem to  
disagree on what those duties are, but this is likely not the time and  
place to argue about it.)

What's important to me at this juncture is to communicate to the  
membership where we are, which I think we collectively managed to do  
on this thread. The membership can draw its conclusions, or ask more  
questions, as they have, and act accordingly.


What I didn't get, though, is a clear statement whether or not year- 
end financials will be the responsibility of the current officers or  
the next ones. The point would be moot if it was the same set of  
officers, but we won't know until January I presume (new board, new  
officer elections), and I would like to have a definitive statement  
before this election is over.


Thanks,




Johannes.
